Hawker Hurricane
The Hawker Hurricane was a British single-seat fighter aircraft that served during World War II. It was the first single-seat fighter aircraft with fully retractable landing gear and a top wing without a visible fuselage, which allowed the pilot a better view. It was designed and manufactured by Hawker Aircraft Limited. The Hurricane was first used during the Battle of Britain in 1940 and became one of the key aircraft that contributed to the defense of Britain against the German Luftwaffe. The Hurricane was armed with a cannon and machine guns and could carry a 500-pound bomb. During the war, its armament, engine and armor were improved. In addition to being a fighter, it also served as a reconnaissance aircraft and attack aircraft. In total, over 14,000 Hawker Hurricane aircraft of various versions were produced. After World War II, it served in several countries and some aircraft were modified for civilian purposes. Several aircraft have survived to this day and are displayed in museums around the world.
